DLMF Standard Reference Tables on Demand
摘要
Mathematical software designers, numerical analysts, and other researchers often need high quality tables of function values, but most current libraries and systems that produce such tables offer limited information about accuracy. To address this void, the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Applied and Computational Mathematics Division (ACMD) and the University of Antwerp Computational Mathematics (CMA) Research Group are collaborating to build the DLMF Standard Reference Tables on Demand (DLMF Tables) web service. DLMF Tables will provide a standard of comparison for testing numerical software by computing, on demand, special functions to user-defined accuracy with guaranteed error bounds.
